Tales of Legendia/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 62:

* [[Needs More Love]]: Many of Legendia's fans believe so.

* [[Purity Sue]] - Stella, as touted by Senel. {{spoiler|Eventually subverted when it's revealed through flashbacks that she was quite an ass to her little sister Shirley, but then Shirley herself doesn't seem to mind--and as Shirley is [[The Scrappy]] to part of the fandom, [[Misaimed Fandom|that part of the fandom]] [[Moral Dissonance|generally doesn't care]].}} To be fair, it may be precisely ''because of'' the fact that we only know her through Senel that she comes off as Suetiful, but then again she is {{spoiler|[[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]]}}...

** Stella's Suetifulness is actually an [[Informed Attribute]]. Senel is {{spoiler|head-over-heels in love with her}}, so [[Fridge Brilliance|it makes sense that]] [[Unreliable Narrator|he would only portray her as a]] [[Purity Sue]] [[From a Certain Point of View|while overlooking her negative aspects]]. Also, don't forget that {{spoiler|her death}} is extremely ''un''Suetiful as it solves nothing in the grand scheme of things and only serves to make the world's situation even ''[[It Got Worse|worse]]''. In fact, it's not long afterwards that Shirley {{spoiler|crosses the [[Despair Event Horizon]] and becomes an [[Omnicidal Maniac]]... ''[[Serial Escalation|and then Senel]] [[Nice Job Breaking It Hero|screws that situation up even more]]''.}} It seems Bamco had a ''lot'' of fun [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructing the]] [[Purity Sue]] trope.

* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]] - Shirley often receives this treatment from rabid Chloe fans.

* [[Ron the Death Eater]] - Shirley (surprise) and Senel get this the most.

Line 75:

* [[That One Boss]]: Schwartz, without a doubt. Also, Solon, Vaclav and potentially {{spoiler|Maurits}}. Stingle may also count.

** Raging Nerifies as well. VERY fond of casting several powerful spells in a row while hovering above your characters' heads, forcing your melee fighters to jump attack JUST to hit it and making it practically impossible to knock it out of its chant. Once once it gets tired of spells, it attacks with an aerial smash that can wipe your team if you don't get out of the way.

* [[Woobie Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Shirley.}}

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Shirley.}}

** {{spoiler|Jay was ''meant'' to be a "destroyer" through his raising by Solon, but ended up a just-plain Woobie since the Oresorrens' raising of him quelled his murderous instincts.}}
